Holstein show
Saturday, November 15th, is entirely dedicated to cows: the individual judging of Holstein and RedHolstein cows: heifers, intermediate cows, senior cows, and the production class. Due to the enormous number of registrations, it promises to be a very interesting and wonderful day: the most beautiful cows in the Netherlands will be on display, competing for various titles!
Herd groups will also be on display, and the Breeder of the Year 2025 will be announced.
Daughter Groups
A particularly interesting program component will feature daughter groups from four exhibitors:
CRV will be showing a daughter group by Delta Fast Lane (Peak Remington x Lustrum). Fast Lane distinguishes himself in terms of breeding value with very strong conformation traits, particularly in the udder and feet & legs. He also has excellent component inheritance and scores highly for daughter fertility. He produces highly efficient daughters with healthy, flawless udders and excellent feet & legs.
KI Kampen presents a group by American Dreamtime P RF (Abundant P RF x Jacuzzi). The sky-high components of the cow family are reflected in his breeding value. He also has an excellent all around and flawless profile. His daughters give him a slight advantage over his genomic breeding value. Dreamtime is heterozygous polled.
KI Samen presents a daughter group by Drouner Abraxas Red P (Abundant P x Born P). This high producing milk producer demonstrates excellent udders and superb feet & legs in his breeding value. In addition, his daughters score very well for cell count, milking speed, and persistence, among other things. Abraxas is heterozygous polled.
Semex has selected a group by 3-star OH Ranger-Red (Rubels Red x Salvatore). Ranger-Red combines abundant milk with positive components and an excellent score for longevity. Strengths include the attractive type and excellent udder inheritance, with exceptionally good linear traits in the udder components.
At the end of Saturday, the grand parade will feature all the champions from both Friday and Saturday. Finally, the announcement of the Grand Champions will follow!
